(More customer reviews)Upon the United States invasion of Iraq, one of 160th SOAR missions was to locate Saddam Hussein, or more affectionately known as "The Ace of Spades" and his affiliates who comprised the remaining 51 positions of America's most wanted in Iraq.
A Night with Saddam, written by Dr. Mark E. Green, chronicles a series of events both personal and professional that would eventually lead to a one-on-one interview with one of the most ruthless men in the history of the world: Saddam Hussein.
Green's motivation for writing this book is twofold: On a personal level, Green highlights the series of events in his own life that led him to re-evaluate his own existence and reason for living. On a broader, and arguably a more important, scale, Green informs the reader of the hardships as well as the trials and tribulations of some of the most unsung heroes in the United States armed services, The Night Stalkers and the Special Operations Flight Surgeons.
While the magnitude of the capture of Saddam Hussein has been unparalleled since United States' military operations began in Operation Iraqi Freedom, this moment held a certain significance for Mark Green; it provided him the opportunity to achieve what he so longed for, a defining moment in his life.
This book is a must read. It has something that appeals to everyone. It chronicles the lives of soldiers and the hardships they face, as well as clandestine and covert operations. A Night with Saddam provides the reader insight into a world few people have ever experienced and a window into the mind of one of the most ruthless men in history.
